This summer, you can also reserve a whole frozen bird that has been safely and humanely processed on our farm under the P.L. 90-492 Producers/Grower Exemption.

Chickens will be between 3 and 5 lbs, so processed birds will cost $16-30 each. They will come whole with neck inside the cavity, vaccum-sealed and frozen.

June on-farm birds are all reserved. Delivery times and locations will be posted for July, August, or September by the end of May. Farm pickup is also available. Our farm is located at 311 130th St Amery WI 54001.

Our on-farm processing fees for 2025 will be:
$5.50/lb processed weight whole chicken (plucked, gutted, cleaned, packaged, and frozen)
$1.00 charge for heart and liver saved (per chicken)
$1.00 charge for gizzard saved (per chicken)
$1.00 charge for feet saved (per chicken)

$5 non-refundable deposit is due upon reservation, then the remaining balance is paid at pickup/delivery. Your deposit will be credited toward your final total. For example, a 5 lb chicken will cost $27.50 total, but after your deposit, it would have a remaining balance of $22.5 owed.

At Granja Las Aguilas, our chickens are raised on pasture with free access to organic sprouted grains, organic meal feed (e.g. ground flax seeds and grains), and fresh water. Out in the field, they consume bugs and plants like alfalfa, lambsquarters, amaranth, and clover, turning all that protein into flavorful chicken and chicken fat! Combined with fresh air and sunshine, pastured local chickens beat out storebought chickens any day.

We keep around 50-75 chickens in a covered and secure pens up to 200 square feet. We move them every day or two, depending on what the ground is like where they are. Our chickens are a patented "jumbo broiler" from Sunnyside Hatchery in Beaver Dam WI, and are similar to the hybrid known as "Cornish Cross." We process them on-farm around 8 weeks old, observing humane and strict food safety protocols.
